a simple question- does the Parker fit you? (there is a slight difference in fit for a SxS compared to an OU
it might be worth a trip to few big sheets of paper and testing the fit
put a one inch aim point on the paper and with the target 16 yards from your eye (not the muzzle)
mount and shoot (don't aim) as if it is a straight away bird
fire a couple rounds and measure the distance from the aim point to the center of the pattern
every inch off the aim point is a 1/16th of an inch off in the fit- so 4 inches is a 1/4 inch adjustment
below target is too much drop - above is of course too little
to the left calls for cast off
this is designed to bring the gun to point of aim- you can make adjustments if you like to the pattern a hair higher for rising birds by changing where you measure to
